The interior of barber shop: On the left a man stands before a mirror, face contorted as he wipes his jaw, unaware of the boy behind him pointing and laughing at him as he holds the man's pigtail in his hand. Another customer is shown in the center seated on a chair, the barber behind him about to cut off his pigtail as well. The third man sits in a chair on the right, reading a newspaper; his lower head is also shorn of its pigtail. The room show other customers as well as stands for wigs. Above the door on the right hangs a sign "R. Crop'em, hair dresser", a second sign beneath reads "Shave for a penny. Crop for two penny."

"A fat ugly man stands in a dilapidated wash-house, one foot on a rough stool, the other trampling on his wig; he gazes up at a noose hanging from a beam, saying, "Oh! my hard Fate!" / Why did I trust her ever?" / What story is not full of Womans Falsehood?" At his feet is a letter: 'You old Fool if you ever [? trouble] me again with your Stupid epistles I will expose you in the public Papers Peggy Perkins.' Below the title: 'No Cure no Pay.' Below the design are eight lines of verse, beginning and ending: 'The one end of a Rope fasten over a beam And make a slip noose at the other extreme, . . . The cricket [stool] kick'd down let him take a fair swing And leave all the rest of the work to the string."--British Museum online catalogue

"A portrait-painter painting a family group of a man and wife and their little boy. The group (right) is raised on a low semicircular platform, the couple sit on a high-backed settee without arms, the little boy on a stool in front of his mother. The child, though in his ordinary clothes, is holding a cupid's bow and a sheaf of arrows (reminiscent of the family portrait in the 'Vicar of Wakefield'); a large quiver holding arrows is slung across his shoulders, a wreath is on his head; he yawns violently. The man, in profile to the left, is obese and wears a short bushy wig, a dove sits on his left wrist; only the toes of his shoes reach the ground. His wife sits on his right holding a dove on her right hand; she turns towards her husband, looking straight forward with a fixed and painful smile; she wears ringlets and a cap of lace and ribbons on her high-dressed hair. The artist (left) stands at his easel which supports a large canvas and is placed close to his sitters. He wears spectacles, a bag-wig, and ruffled shirt, and holds a palette in his left hand. He looks towards his sitters with an insinuating smile, which, together with his attitude and the figure of the man sketched on the canvas, shows that he is intent on flattery. High up on the wall behind him are two oval bust portraits, one (left) of a clergyman, the other of a lady. Behind the sitters is a tall screen of several leaves."--British Museum online catalogue

"A design partly bisected by a vertical line. The same lady sits (left) directed to the left at her dressing-table, wearing only a long chemise or petticoat, and slippers. On the right she sits, in the same attitude but directed to the right, fully dressed at the same dressing-table. In undress she is almost bald; a wig of naturally-dressed hair is on a stand on the table. She has an over-long neck and skinny arms. On the the table (left) are her fan, a locket suspended on a ribbon, cosmetic-boxes, and a bottle labelled 'Wrinkles'. When dressed her neck is concealed by a lace ruffle on a chemisette, she has long rucked sleeves, in her gloved hand is her fan. She wears a high-waisted gown under which her legs are defined; she wears elaborately embroidered stockings with flat slippers. Her wig seems to be luxuriant natural hair; she wears an ear-ring. On the dressing-table are boxes, a bottle of 'Lavender', and tickets inscribed 'Opera' and 'Cards'. She looks young and handsome, the dress (not exaggerated) effectively concealing her weakest points."--British Museum online catalogue

On the street in front of the shop of S.W. Fores & Co. a mix of Londoners -- trades people, clergy, gentleman and ladies, etc. -- fight the effects of a very strong wind: a parson loses his wig, a woman's dress is blown up over her hips revealing her large buttocks; a woman selling fish has fallen to the ground, her hat and wares strewn across the sidewalk as a man with a walking stick trips over her, etc. Above the shop window is a sign that reads "Prints &c wholesale & for expotation".
